From this post, I learned that porcupines have the dexterity of squirrels and monkeys. Good to know. They'll use that ability, along with their disarming cuteness, come the revolution.

The apple-eating puppy, however, was a waste of bandwidth.posted by mumkin at 12:26 PM on October 28, 2007

that melon slice is bigger than the kitty!

That's the ugliest chihuahua dog I have ever seen.posted by dov3 at 1:30 PM on October 28, 2007

Christ I'm getting tired of seeing this 'word' pop up in every post.posted by bwg at 3:31 PM on October 28, 2007 [1 favorite]

Awww so much cuteness in one little post. That duckling sharing his bread crumbs with the carp is precious. *insert high-pitched squeal here*

I wonder why it is that we think it's cute when little baby creatures make smacking sounds while they eat, but if our friends or family members do it we're grossed out. posted by amyms at 3:37 PM on October 28, 2007

madamjujujive, aww, those happy-waggly feet! That tiny rascal ate with such gusto. Adorable.

dirtynumbangelboy, loved that limply lazy cat. Too pooped from work to think but there's a really good LOLCATism in that video, just waiting to be articulated.posted by nickyskye at 4:51 PM on October 28, 2007

I think everyone's smacking noises are cute, within reason. Neoteny is usually the reason generally for the "when babies do it it's cute but when others do it, it's creepy/gross/nasty" vibeposted by jessamyn at 4:58 PM on October 28, 2007 [1 favorite]

I just started reading The Road, so I think maybe this little movie will come in handy later...posted by Scoo at 8:56 PM on October 28, 2007

wtf is up with the cat who uses a fork and chopsticks? Is it a joke? That made my brain hurt.posted by smartyboots at 9:51 PM on October 28, 2007

Hadn't seen that cat eats with fork and chopsticks one in years, amazing. Wondered how the hell she did that. ah ha "Faye Murrell, also of Tampa, worked for nine months to teach her cat Tessa to eat at the table with a knife and fork, which are attached to her paws with Velcro wrist straps."posted by nickyskye at 4:19 AM on October 29, 2007

Just curious: how is it that this woman is holding a porcupine without wearing some sort of protective armor? Or gloves at least? Cute or not, I thought porcupine quills were involuntarily delivered to intruders -- but she's not looking like a pincushion.
